Naked? Yes indeed.

Ahh it has been awhile...Sorry! I have been busy working and I haven't been able to blog as much as I'd like to.

But on a lighter note, the other week my dad was on his way to Sephora to buy cologne and he said "The other day you said you went there for something that was sold out, what was it?" I told him "Its a makeup palette" My dad then responds in his latin accent "What is it called?" and my response was "Naked" then my dad boasts "What?! Make it??".... "NO dad NAKED!!!" ..."NAKED??!!?!" ..."Yes Dad it is called NAKED!!"

Mind you this whole conversation is happening in front of tons of people who are probably thinking WTF!?

He ends up bringing me a bag with my lovely Naked Palette! One of the girls from Sephora told me how he was in there looking for it and how cute it was haha. I laughed because all I can picture is this big guy coming into the store saying to one of the employees "Yo Sweetheart I am looking for something Naked." haha I love my dad!

I am a huge fan of neutrals so I adore this palette but I wish there were a few more matte options. Because sometimes I like something less shimmery during the day. But still love it!

Avocado Bliss

I LOVE Avocados and cannot get enough of them. They are great on sandwiches and burgers and I love them on grilled shrimp tacos! With Cinco de Mayo being tomorrow I felt like I should make some yummy Guacamole while it was my day off. Tomorrow I would most likely be too tired to make it.

Anyways I used to go to this Mexican restaurant that would make the Guacamole for you right at the table!

What you need:

2 Hass Avocados (Ripe of course)
1 Red Onion (About 2 TBSP of minced red onion)
1 Plum Tomato (Not too soft)
1 Small clove of garlic
Small lime ( I only used half of it)
Sea salt or Kosher salt if you have it. Otherwise regular salt is fine.
Cayenne pepper
Cumin
Fresh Cilantro

Cut your tomato, red onion, avocado in tiny little cubes. I call this micro dicing lol. Throw it all into a bowl.

Then roll your lime on a counter before cutting it to get it easy to squeeze. I used half of a small lime

Then I cut some fresh cilantro and threw it into the mix. I am aware that Cilantro is a Love or Hate thing. You either love Cilantro or you can NOT stand it. I LOVE IT. The more the merrier lol

Then I mixed everything together and seasoned it with sea salt and a small pinch of Cayenne Pepper for heat and Cumin for smokiness. It really works well with the lime. But if you don't have Cumin or dislike the taste, Paprika is a great option!

Mix it all up and adjust to taste and pair it with your favorite chips! I had it with Multigrain chips because they are bit better for me! Yummy!

If Only you could see how green it really was though. The lighting was terrible! But it was delicious!!
